Let go of that disciple and let me come

At this moment, in the crowded square,

everyone's gaze was fixed intently on the projection from the World Instrument.

The projection was vast, covering half the sky, like a map, displaying the territory of the Liuguang Sect.

On the map, countless light points were scattered!

Some were dazzlingly bright, while others were dim.

They were a riot of colors, vibrant and varied!

As several golden light points appeared,

some Protectors pondered deeply, revealing a hint of desire.

Golden Aptitude, while not an extraordinary Aptitude,

could, with proper cultivation, lead to becoming a Saint or even a Great Saint.

They would become the mid-tier strength of the Sect.

Soon, several Protectors began to grab the light points on the World Instrument.

This was an old tradition of the Liuguang Sect!

Grabbing points to take Disciples!

Whoever grabbed a light point, the Disciple represented by that point would belong to them.

And the light point would show the Disciple's location!

They would grab them on the spot and go recruit them the same day, emphasizing efficiency.

Many people present had come to the Sect this way.

Sometimes, they would be perfectly fine at home, then suddenly, they were gone.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they had been chosen and taken as a Disciple!

"Do you think a Disciple with orange Aptitude will appear this time?"

Grand Elder Great Elder Chen Qing stroked his gray beard, speaking with anticipation.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Third Elder Mu Changchun shook his head.

"Green Aptitude signifies the potential to become an Emperor."

"Orange Aptitude, however, means there is hope of becoming a Pseudo-Immortal expert."

"Looking at the entire Liuguang Sect, there are only a sparse two or three individuals with orange Aptitude."

"How easy is it to find someone with orange Aptitude!"

"This time, I estimate it would be good if we could recruit a few Disciples with green Aptitude."

Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed with a look of shock,

"That... is that a red point there? Am I seeing things?"

"Where?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was startled!

A person with red Aptitude represented the potential for Immortal Ascension.

Just as everyone craned their necks to look, the Grand Elder and Third Elder disdainfully turned their heads away.

Especially the former, whose eyes revealed deep contempt.

These old geezers were truly devious!

During the last Disciple recruitment, he had set his sights on a Disciple with green Aptitude.

But then someone told him that an orange one had appeared.

Just as he went to look, full of joy, the Disciple he had chosen had already been snatched away.

This time was even more outrageous; they even fabricated such an absurd lie as red Aptitude.

This was red Aptitude, capable of Immortal Ascension; how could it appear in a place like theirs?

The same Move, did they really think they could fool him a second time?

Naive!

Just as he was thinking this,

"Holy cow, it really is red Aptitude!"

"And not just ordinary red!"

Various exclamations sounded one after another.

The Grand Elder and Third Elder shook their heads.

These old scoundrels, not one of them was any good; they even tried to conspire to deceive them.

Were they so easily deceived?

However, the next moment!

An extremely dense red light erupted, quickly enveloping the entire Armillary Sphere.

Through the light curtain, one could vaguely see a small white figure on top of the red dot, its outline clearly that of Zhong Qing!

The red light emanating from his body was like a small sun, its radiance extending straight out for dozens of feet.

Wind and clouds surged.

At this, everyone lost their composure.

"Heaven blesses our Liuguang Sect!"

Someone was overjoyed, immediately reaching for the point emitting the dense red light.

At the same time, over a dozen people acted in unison, vying for it.

This was red Aptitude, red Aptitude with the potential for Immortal Ascension.

And the more dazzling the light, the better the natural talent, and the higher the achievement!

They had only seen red Aptitude capable of emitting dozens of feet of light in historical records.

Those individuals, if they matured, all ultimately became top figures standing in the Central Continent Second Heaven.

To be able to teach such a Disciple would undoubtedly be an immense honor for them.

As the dozen or so people began to contend, the Grand Elder and Third Elder also noticed something amiss.

They abruptly turned to look at the Armillary Sphere and then saw the red light so dense it could dazzle their eyes.

For a moment, both of them were utterly dumbfounded.

"It... it really... really is a Prodigy with red Aptitude!"

The Third Elder stammered!

The Grand Elder's eyes widened: "And the light of this Aptitude is still growing!"

"Heavens, what kind of Prodigy is this?"

"The light is already twenty feet!"

The light was so dazzling that even the slowly rotating Armillary Sphere now began to spin rapidly!

"Thirty feet!"

"Forty feet!"

As the red Aptitude's light increased by another segment, the exclamations of the crowd grew louder, and their excitement intensified!

Finally!

Everyone who was contending for the red light cluster stopped in unison; they wanted to see how many feet this Prodigy's light could reach!

"Fifty feet!"

"Sixty feet!"

"Seventy feet!"

...

At this point, the entire Armillary Sphere was smoking from spinning.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar!

The Armillary Sphere, which tested Aptitude, exploded directly.

This was a Sect treasure; normally, if it were even slightly damaged, the higher-ups of the Liuguang Sect would be heartbroken.

But at this moment, as the entire Armillary Sphere completely exploded, everyone seemed not to notice.

They simply stared with bloodshot eyes at the hundred-foot red light that burst forth just before the Armillary Sphere shattered!

An Elder's chest heaved, as if he had witnessed the most incredible sight in the world.

"A hundred feet is the limit of the Armillary Sphere's test, but not the limit of that person's Aptitude!"

"This... this is an unparalleled Aptitude, unprecedented in history!"

At this moment, everyone present was completely crazy mad!

"This child is destined to be with me!"

An Elder laughed wildly.

"What do you mean destined to be with you? That is clearly the Disciple this old man has waited for three lifetimes!"

"Ridiculous! This old man severed all emotions, solely to devote himself wholeheartedly to teaching this Disciple. You want to contend with me?"

The entire Liuguang Sect square turned into a chaotic mess.

The crowd was agitated, truly frenzied.

"Enough!"

Just then, a loud shout, like rolling thunder, echoed through the sky.

Sect Master Crimson Luan, who had remained silent throughout, exuded a mighty pressure.

"The Liuguang Sect is, after all, a reputable Sect within tens of thousands of miles. You represent the face of our Liuguang Sect. What kind of decorum is this, acting so boisterously?"

At these words, the scene fell silent.

Some Elders were somewhat unconcerned; it was a Disciple with Immortal Ascension Aptitude, who wouldn't be tempted?

Some high-ranking officials felt a bit ashamed; they did seem to have lost their composure too much.

Crimson Luan continued: "I can understand your feelings!"

"But ask yourselves, with such an exceptionally talented Disciple, if placed in your hands, do you have the confidence to teach him well?"

"Looking across the entire Liuguang Sect, who among us is truly capable of being his teacher?"

"I hope you will reflect on this thoroughly!"

As he spoke, he stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and strode away.

"Where is the Sect Master going?"

Crimson Luan did not turn his head: "I am going to seek the future of the Liuguang Sect!"

Seeing him speak so solemnly, many people seemed to see a magnificent and glorious figure.

However, soon, someone reacted.

"This fellow speaks so sanctimoniously, but in the end, isn't he just trying to snatch our Disciple?"

"You dog!"

"Let go of that Disciple, let me have him!"
